GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, April 25-The new week
at the stock exchange opened moderately
active, but feverish. The market still re-
tanned it's professional character. The
active stock Of the day was New England,
in which trading became unusually large
and the dealings at times were attended
with much excitement. Selling by the
directors party still continued, and
traders who lost money in the
stock on the long side were
endeavOring to even up by short sales.
New dissentions in the management were
reported and stories that several directors
had handed in their designations were
freely circulated. The president of the
company, however, later denied any
knowledge of such action, and the decline
in the stock was checked after the first
hour. On the other hand, there was
marked strength in Union Pacific and
Oregons, which made slight advance,
while the remainder of the list was
weak. The return of Mr.. Gould
and the reports that his sentiments were
bullish caused an upward spirit IN West
ern Union late in day, IN which the gen.
eral market sympathised to a certain
extent. The opening was generally firm,
the advances over Saturdays final
figures in most stocks being from to
per cent, while Oregon TranscOntinental
was higher and New England per cent.
lower Later Union Pacific and Reading
furnished a great bulk of the trading,
while New England, Fort Worth and the
general list were heavy to weak. Marked
strength was displayed by Union Pacific
After the first hour, the declines
were checked and in many cases the
early losses were recovered before noon
A steady to firm tone was impaired to
dealings in the afternoon, Western Union
coming to the front. There was slight
reaction toward p. M, but the close was
steady to firm, at or near the opening
figures.
Railroad bonds were quiet. The tone
was steady to firm throughout the day,
and important changes in quotations are
few in number, though generally on the
side of higher figures.
Government and state bonds were dull
and steady.

THE SHADOW OF a BILL

The constitutionality of the interstate
commerce bill, should it become a law
ought to be tested early, and the earlier
the better. 1t is the sense of some of the
best legal thinkers Of the country that it
is unconstitutional. Already the pro-
jected shadow Of its threat has fallen across
the path of the fruit-growers of California,
and menaces the fruit interests so seriously
as greatly to depress investors. Instead of
regulating commerce it destroys it, and as
destruction in any degree is not regulation,
the bill is unconstitutional. 1t is dis
eliminating without reason, and thus
crosses at right angles guaranteed rights
OF the people to trade with each other on
equal terms before the law. 1t proposes
to give to one freedom to charge what he
pleases for carriage of goods, and to deny
the right to another similarly situated,
and is, therefore, unconstitutional. As
Senator Evarts puts it, :" 1t does not estab-
lish justice, or insure domestic tranquility,
or promote the general welfare, and is
therefore unconstitutional" 1t, in effect,
SEXES property without compensation be-
ing first made, since to deprive of control
is to divest one of the only material ele-
ment of ownership, and it is, therefore,
unconstitutional. There are other reasons
for the conclusion, and for all or some of
these, the bill will not pass the ordeal
of the Courts. The character of the "Act"
inspires the hope that it will have
no vitality left in it when it
does reach the law tribunals, for its
injustice and harsh discrimination, its
lodgment in commission of the extra
ordinary power to suspend its operation in
one case, and give it effectiveness in an
other; its cross purposes to commercial
laws; its Numerically antagonistic atti-
tude to that of ordinary trade, regulations,
ought to make it dead letter-one of that
class that fails because public sentiment
does not consent to its enforcement

BENEFAcr1oNs OF WEALTH.


The donation of million of dollars by a
wealthy citizen to the city of Worcester,
Massachusetts,, to found an educational in
stitution, is another evidence of the
growth of the liberal spirit among the
rich. After all the carping at the wealthy,
it remains that in America great fortunes
do not long remain in single hands. Proba-
bly, more distribution of money for the
good of men is made in this country, in
proportion to the number of the wealthy,
than in any land under the sun. Even
where the rich do not become their own
executors, on death the distribution of
their money into many channels is almost
certain to take place. There is not,
properly, such thing as the hoard
ing of money in this country. 1t is nearly
all put into activity, and its aggregation

The Eastern Hop Market.

Emmett Wells New York Hop CircalGr of
January 18th says: Not only has good
business been doing in foreign and Pacific
coast hops, but prices have been well sus-
tanned for two weeks past, considering the
large stocks on offer and the pressure in
certain quarters to sell and realize. The
demand has been pretty evenly divided be-
tween Paciics and Germans it having
been discovered by brewers that the hops
give good results when mixed in about
equal proportions" The Circular and sew
eral other papers paying attention to the
hop interest declare that therei is too much
acreage, and urge a reduction. They say ::
q It makes no difference whether the over
abundance of hops is caused by new meth
DDS of making and curing, or whether less
hops are used from other causes. The fact
that there are more hops grown than can
be sold at a profit, and that the demand is
slow at any figure is apparent. Reduce the
supply and the demand would take the bal
ance.p

THE UNIVERSITY BILL.

The bill to give the State University
fixed income derivable from regular rate
collection annually, as are other taxes,
would appear to be in the line of true
economy. Thus, the bill provides for an
annual ad yalorem tax Of one cent on
each 500 of assessed valuation, to be put
into what is to be known as the University
fund, to be disbursed solely for the use of
the State University and to be accounted
for in reports OF the Regents 10 the Execu-
tive. The University has biennially been
beggar at the bar of the Legislature 1t
does not deserve to be placed in that atti-
tude. 1t must be either supported or
abandoned; the thought of the latter al
tentative is not to be entertained for
moment. To support it properly, its in
come should not be dependent upon politi-
cal contingencies or spasms of either legis-
lative economy or generosity. To give it
the one cent the bill asks is not to expend,
at present at least, more, or as much, as We
now do by direct appropriations. These
appropriations have heretofore amounted
to quite the same, on general average, to
that the bill proposes to make fixed in
come. Establishing stated income will
really conserve economy of administra-
ton at the University, since the manage
ment will realize the necessity of living
within the income, and that it will prove
a barrier to special appeals for appro-
priations. Uader the appropriation sys
TEN, all the plans of the University bridge
only the gap between legislative sessions,
and hence the policy Of the institution is
cribbed and confined and lacks that
breadth and confidence essential to the
usefulness of the University to the people
of the State. Moreover, the stated in
come, measured by a rate upon assessable
values, provides for the advancement of
the University contemporaneously with
the growth of the State. The State
University is essentially the peo-
pies school, and in the purest sense
the poor mans school. The rich can ed
ucate their children where they please
The best heritage the poor man can leave
his child is thorough education. for in
the struggle for existence it is brain and
Drawn, not Drawn alone, that wins. The
poor man can place his son or daughter at
the State University absolutely free of
tuition fees, in any of the several colleges
Of agriculture, mining. geology, metal
lurgy, mechanics, chemistry, civil engineer
ing, and SO on through long list So,
too, the University is the rich mans
school, since it affords his sons and daugh-
tiers as broad advantages for education as
can be obtained elsewhere, notwithstand-
ing the traditional halo of superiority that
crowns older institutions. Every reason
offers, therefore, for the bill to fix the in
come of the University receiving the
approval of all classes Of taxpayers and
every friend of popular education.
